Discount for in-game items with Loompoints

[WITCHCRAFT]

I doubt this will be implemented, but that was what I was thinking of a suggestion. 10-30% discount is okay when you are purchasing hundreds of the item in strategus, but that doesn't mean it would  be fair in regards to the repair costs for equipment on regular servers.

Maybe the repair discount for +0 items only. But not for any loomed items. The advantage from +3 full plate set with reduced repairs would be too good against non loomed. This is supposed to be skill based, not item/grind based.
The advantage from fully loomed gear vs non-loomed is really high already. +10 body armor from fully loomed gauntlets + chest armor is a bit too much already IMO. But who am I to talk, running around fully loomed myself.

rewards rich players, pisses on poor players.

Don't like this suggestion.

But it can be adjusted with some other idea! Gold sink is quite important actually, but people already do not care about upkeep.
Therefore the following stuff could work then:

Looming an item +1 increases the repair costs by 10%.
Looming an item to +2 increases the repair costs by a total of 20%.
Looming an item to +3 increases the repair costs by a total of 30%.

Putting another LP into the item to decrease the upkeep by 10%.

For a +3 item it means with 3 LPs you can decrease the increase of the upkeep from 130% back to 100%.
For a +2 item it means with 2 LPs you can decrease the increase of the upkeep from 120% back to 100%.
For a +1 item it means with 1 LP you can decrease the increase of the upkeep from 110% back to 100%.

For a +1 item it means with 3 LP you can decrease the upkeep to 80%.


LP and Goldsink both. 6 LP per item at its best, 3 LP if you dont care about gold, or 3 LP if you dont care about stats but gold.

Example:

Destrier: Upkeep 1,642 gold.
Champ Destrier: Upkeep 2135 gold.

Long Bow: Upkeep 777 gold.
Masterwork Long Bow: Upkeep 1010 gold.

Danish Greatsword: Upkeep 1,114 gold.
Masterwork Danish Greatsword: Upkeep 1448 gold.

In the end, by having better gear than others, you either pay with gold or LPs.
Obviously no one would care if he got a low upkeep item +3 if the difference is only 1-200 gold. But for Horses it will be a difference, as well as for expensive weapons or arrows.

I stoped my grind fest long time ago and you want me to put in to that again
NO

limit item lvl to +3
peps will think what to take discount or upgrade, anyway that will probably unbalance game like hell but hey! who cares.

[Miwiw]

No, I don't want that. But I neither want that weird suggestion of this topic.

Bugger it, why not. There's always those few players who you see ALWAYS in plate, Poopy, Tony (idk if he does now on his new one), Dielier etc. Just why not? It'll be fun to see GS users have a slightly harder time killing people, then we'll have a billion more threads about how 2h should be buffed cos it can't cut through plate armour
